In France there had been cases of employees wiring money convinced that they were talking to their CEO/CFO/lawyers over the phone. Many cases were due to a Franco-Israeli gang arrested in 2022/2023 that managed to make at lea

I remember him from a tech video on theserverside.com, I thinkg it was on guice and dependency injection back in the 2005-2010 period. He was all smiles, energetic and inspiring. Sad news.

True but you see very different landscapes in these 3000kms and probably more diverse than in the 24000km of the Canadian trail. Also if you like history you probably can visit some castles from different centuries along the way. But it is

The trail lacks a segment on the Mediterranean coast. It could extended by going down to Menton on the Mediterranean from the Ecrins National Park via the Queyras and Mercantour national parks, but it is quite a detour.

The limit to 6 months is pretty disappointing. Also the 1,000,000 ISK monthly salary for workers in the Schengen area is pretty restrictive, except for Switzerland, Norway, not that many people earn that level of salary.

I built a web SPA "crypto" calculator that performed basic and generic tasks such as symmetric ciphering with block padding, hashing with different algorithms at the same time, pkcs7 messages ciphering/deciphering, and utilit

I managed to have the same battery life if not better than on Windows 11. I own a 3 years old Dell XPS 13, i7 16GB of RAM and run it on the latest Fedora (arch btw before). It is a personal laptop, I mainly use it to browse the web and occa

Truly agree. There are also countries like France which only imported cheap and poor labor. France never tried or even discouraged rich people to settle in the country with punitive taxes (compared to our neighbors and other western world c

I used to manage my dotfiles with stow (xstow actually) and do some simple links. Now I run an Ansible playbook that creates links or copy depending on the files and also install tools on different OSes. The big benefit is that it can be or

I was interested to buy the 14Z90Q since it ticked most of the boxes for me: lightweight, good battery life, TB4 ports, 12th gen cpu, not crazy expensive RAM upgrade, etc. The only downside on the specs was the screen brightness only 350 ni

I ran Archlinux with LTS kernel on my home laptop for 1.5 years and I stopped because of instabilities. The last issue that I had was the update to pipewire, my bluetooth headset stopped working after suspend. I got fed up of tweaking confi

I really don't understand the hype for the iphone. I own a oneplus 8t on Android 12, I particularly like the 120Hz display and the very fast charging (65w). When my battery is almost dead I can get to 30% in just a few minutes. Android

We can still see: * a private jet flying from Munich(UPEM008) to Moscow * a commercial flight leaving Moscow to Berlin (Bulgarian Air LZBRU) * a private jet flying over Lithuania from Moscow (4XCUZ) and * a RAF aircraft (RRR7240) patrolling

You probably know it but you don't need to copy and paste in you terminal, you can use pipes. ssh myuser@myip "cat > myfile" < myfile and use tar to stdout, untar from stdin to transfer directories. It can even be compr

I am French living in south of France but I would not recommend France mainly for 1 reason: (the lack of) safety. I lived a few years in Canada so I can compare to North America. France is not what tiktok videos about US expat living in Par

I am French and I did try it, recording my voice in English (I have a thick French accent to English speaking ears, ok for French ones). And the result back in French was kind of good even it did sound almost like me with a slight American

You mean install docker in the WSL2 installed distribution directly ? I run a Ubuntu 20.04 WSL2 vm. It does not seem very easy to install it directly in the vm, for instance there is no systemd. There is the reddit post about it and most re

After almost 2 years running Arch I switched back to Windows last summer on my home laptop (Dell XPS 13 9380). The pipewire update needed by pulseaudio effects broke the sound output to my bluetooth headset. Also at the same time a Gnome up

Wrong and exaggerated on so many levels. What you are saying is caricature of the left extremist way of thinking. No the yellow vest movement was nothing but peaceful, quite violent actually, throwing cobbles or molotov cocktails at police

The "A few good men" movie sequence is not really good. First I cannot understand Jack Nicholson's answer and could not rely on the lips movements to get it. It is supposed to be the "you can't handle the truth&quot

I have done 10+ years of Java development and 1 year of Python. And I disagree, Java packaging is better. You can package all your dependencies in a fat jar like Spring boot does and you only need to run it with java -jar lib.jar and you ar

I agree mostly. Some good use cases for Java: - cryptography: It has a wide range support of symmetric/asymmetric algorithms from legacy to modern ones. - XML and SOAP with Web Service Security in particular. - Modeling large business

Most "tech" youtube reviewers often say that an Android customization is good because it is minimalist and is close to stock Android. It is often praised also because it adds only a few features that stock Android doesn´t have. B

I have been running Linux (Arch) with Gnome on a Dell XPS 13 9380 for the past 2 years and I did not face major issues. My first major complaint is the lack of fingerprint reader driver. It simply does not work. My desktop environment is Gn

This reminds me of a competitor "candysan.com". It is owned by a Japanese woman and her French husband who happens to be a youtuber. And the website is currently down because the servers burnt with the OVH Strasburg datacenter. H

I use the vi mode for tmux and my shell (zsh). I configured tmux and neovim to copy into the system clipboard (not for the shell, I did not search to be honest) Thus to copy I use the y (yield) key, with optional selection keys like iw (in
